shouldn't Microsoft be more interested in, say, shipping Windows 8 sooner and with more features? They could pay engineers $200,000 a year (a very nice salary)

  > Something something Mythical Man Month something something if you remember (or read the actual article), the mythical man month says nothing about the problem you quoted. It is often mistakenly taken out of context to mean that more people on a project doesn't make it faster. Mythical man month actually says that a project already running late, won't be completed faster by adding more people at a later date, due to communication, and coordination problems. If you planned out the work for 5000 people (a hellova plan!), then this problem won't occur...in theory.
